Meet Jazz Jennings! Although born male, Jazz is a transgender female and has been living as a girl since kindergarten.

But, now that Jazz is 14, she is on the brink of the biggest challenge of her life: high school.
Twelve years ago, at the age of five, Jazz started her transition to becoming the girl that she has always been, and she dreamed that one day her inner and outer self would be in alignment. This season, that dream becomes a reality and viewers are there every step of the way as Jazz prepares for and experiences the biggest, most personal event of her life - gender confirmation surgery.
